Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the art and craft of computer programming and object-oriented design using Java. It offers a first look at building graphical applications and forms a base from which you can learn other programming languages and techniques. COMP 160 is a prerequisite for all second year papers in Computer Science. While it is suitable for students enrolled for any degree, it is particularly designed for students taking a BSc, BA or BCom degree.

Course Description
This course provides an introduction to embedded and real-time systems. Students gain practical experience using a small micro-controller development board, programmed in C, and industrial development tools. The course examines the interface between the digital micro-controller and physical sensors and actuators, and the process of analyzing, designing, and testing systems that react to external events.

Course Description
The purpose of the course is to introduce discrete event simulation, basic optimization approaches, and heuristic methods such as simulated annealing, tabu search, and evolutionary algorithms. The course begins by studying discrete event simulation. Students learn to write process-oriented and event-scheduling simulation programs in general programming languages. Estimation of accuracy, random number generation, methods for studying rare events, verification and validation are also covered. The next topic covered is optimization techniques. Linear programs (LP) and the simplex algorithm are studied. This is followed by integer programming (IP) and Mixed Integer Programming (MIP), the relation between IP and LP, and the branch-and-bound method for IP. Finally, heuristic and meta-heuristic methods for combinatorial optimization problems are viewed as optimization through simulation. The local search and its most common variations are explained along with the Monte Carlo techniques.
